insists 0 na direct primary law tells supporters at roundup he will accept no plurality compromise says victory is sure agrees with ayers opinion realizing it a big help to his campaign srnixofield iii oct o.-governor charles s deneen will ask the legisla ture to pass another direct plurality pri mary law n-hcn that body is convened in special session late in november or ear'v in december he will recommend in fact that the old jones-oglesby law be amended to meet the criticisms of the supreme court and re-enacted | there is to be no quibbling on the gov ernor s part in his recommendations to i the legislature he will not agree in his message to any compromise like senator walter clyde jones has proposed namely that to get a direct nomination a candi date shall receive at least a third of the total vote cast fie will not agree to any minimum plurality requirement which is to say that a candidate shall have any i fixed percentage of the total vote in order to get a direct nomination it is his horseback opinion that snch a law would not have a chance to stand lien brought up before the supreme court he believes as a lawyer that it i must be a direct plurality law or nothing | the governor ihas made bis position on toe subject plain to his legislative support ers who have gathered for the state round jnp senators ilurburgh landee and | stewart and itcpresentative campbell and | others got that information straight to day and have taken it home with them to their constituents ! deneen agrees with ay ers it is the governor's legal opinion fur ther that there is not now any sort of a primary law on the statute books lie agrees with attorney frank d ayers of the board of election commissioners of cook county that democratic and kepu'o j lican candidates for the special election in the sixth congressional district will have candidates by petition and also all Chicago city candidates for city offices next spring and for cook county offices next fall will be in the same fix provided in the meantime the 189s act shall be de clared urn-oust itutioiial and like most other lawyers the gov ernor thinks the supreme court has al ready declared that act unconstitutional in eftcet and will do so officially as soon as the court gets a chance at it the governor realizes the situation in cook county has helped him materially in his campaign for a new primary law among hi visitors to-day was abel beach who probably was summoned to inform his excellency what the board has ruled and how far it will go in carrying out that ruling in the event some one takes the matter into court whereby the constitu tionality of the 1s08 act will be raised thinks cause of antis lost from the governor's point of view the legislators and politicians who have op posed the enactment of any primary legis lation already have lost their case under the ayers opinion and with the probability of the supreme court declaring the 18u8 act invalid hanging over them a probabil ity that even the antis admit the gover nor believes that opposition to the enact ment of some sort of law is impossible the governor has received encouragement from his friends they have told him and especially men like barbara of knox coun ty and senator stewart of kane that the people of their districts not the politicians are enthusiastically in favor of another direct primary law the amendments suggested to the old act probably will be drafted by attorney gen eral stead it is possible the legislature will make a demand of the supreme court to make some statement as to how the de fects of that law may be cured it being one of the constitutional duties of the court to make such recommendations in the call for the special session there will be included the amendment of the registration act also there may be in cluded a partial revision of the general electiou law may compromise to waterway on the deep waterway question there may be a compromise between the de neen and the lorimer forces lorimer al ways has contended the state should take no action until the federal government is ready to co-operate the governor now thinks that if congress is going to make an appropriation for the project at the coming session that fact can be learned by january if it does intend to make an appropriation the state and federal committees can get together and work out a programme and if there is to be no appropriation the matter can be dropped the anti-primary forces which is t^j say the suurtleff-lorimer followers will begin arriving in the morning speaker shurtleff david e suanahnu and b xl

kaiser willielm and emperor francis joseph with the king of italy for the sanction of the abruzzi-el kins marriage comes the announcement that the princess hohenberg morganatic wife of archduke francis ferdinand heir to the austrian throne has been raised to the rank of duchess and with her husband will shortly visit the kaiser at berlin where they will receive great honors the kaiser is said to be responsible for this new honor and the chapters in what is now called a romance of international love and politics seem to be written fast archduke francis joseph is the only heir to the throne in the history of austria whi contracted a morganatic marriage for the sake rf his wife who before her marriage was the countess sophia t'hotek a mem ber of an old bohemian family gave up throne for love the archduke for ten years resisted all efforts to marry him to a woman of bis own rank the emperor vainly endeavored to stop his marriage but finally gave his consent raising the countess to the rank of princess hohenberg at the wedding the archduke too the oath be would not declare the princess either empress or queen nor his children as | members of the imperial bouse now

between herself and her elder son and the austrian throne kaiser's diplomacy back of move the kaiser's reasons for inducing the austrian emperor to raise his heir's wife to the rank of duchess according to aus u-i;ui authorities is due to bis desire to promote better feeling toward germany on the part of the new duchess who has been a steadfast opponent of pan-tlcrniauism and secondly a desire to furth-Â»r assist the abruzzl-elkins romance thereby thwartrux king edward ami bringing american sympathies in closer alliance with the european monarchies it is pointed out that the austrian em peror has occupied the equivocal position of urging the king of italy to permit the abruzzi-elkins marriage and giving the bride the fullest royal rank when his own heir has had a morganatic bride who was not eligible to royal honors the kaiser's answer was the suggestion to raise the princess hohenberg to the rank of duehess which generally is inter preted as the initial steps f the plan to see either herself or her eldest sou event ually occupy the austrian throne duchess hohenberg formerly sophia chotek morganatic wife of arch dulce francis ferdinand of austria and two of her children
